72: History's Mysteries pt.3: Outside Oakville

Updated: 4 days ago



A special guest! Jacob, friend of the pod, join us with a special story. "Why did it rain blobs in Oakville?" That is a very good question. One we will attempt to answer, or at least speculate on. Either way we can promise you were are having a good time and, well, we laughed. Enjoy!


P.S. Maia had too much Elk Creek Water and mixed up Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic - Prokaryotes are the ones without mitochondria. 


Key takeaways to listen for

  • [00:00:00] Catch-Up

  • [00:45:14] Outside Oakville: Officer Lacey’s windshield slime, Dottie Hearn’s yard full of goo, first wave of flu-like illness.

  • [01:02:00] Lab Tests & Mysterious Disappearance: White blood cells, two strange bacteria, eukaryotic vs. prokaryotic debate, and the lone sample that “goes missing.”

  • [01:14:15] Theory #1 Jellyfish Bombs: Air-Force bombing range, “exploding jellies,” and the town’s bizarre Jellyfish Festival.

  • [01:26:30] Theory #2 Blue Ice From Planes: FAA denial, why it probably wasn’t frozen toilet waste.

  • [01:29:30] Theory #3 Amphibian Spawn: How frog eggs can swell into blobs; why it doesn’t fit the Oakville data.

  • [01:32:30] Theory #4 Ag-Chem Cover-Up: Nearby research station, crop-dusting gone wrong, and the Reddit detective work.

  • [01:35:00] Aftermath & Rabbit Holes: Listeners sent to Patreon game “Catch the Vibe,” plus closing credits and shameless merch plug.
